Jessica JovanDesigner Jessica Jovan with Interior Motives was instrumental in working with TYCO Project Manager Richard Deaver on the kitchen cabinet designs to optimize the efficiency and work area in the newly redesigned kitchens and on the design of the new baths. The original kitchens were very small and poorly designed, but the new kitchens have been reconfigured and are much more open and spacious. Fultonia residents will enjoy the new kitchens, which will feature oak cabinets, granite countertops and wood laminate flooring along with new stoves and refrigerators in each unit.

The newly redesigned baths will feature all new plumbing and lighting fixtures as well as new wood laminate flooring.

With the range of skills, and the knowledge that Jessica received from her education as a Cal State Fresno graduate in the Design program, and having worked as an Interior Designer, she now enjoys focusing on improving the quality and safety as well as improving the overall function of the building or living space with key focus on the overall appearance and aesthetics.

Fultonia Street CoffeeWith progress being made every day on the residential units at Fultonia, planning has begun on the ten commercial storefront spaces along Fulton Street. TFS Investments is already looking at adding a coin operated Laundromat in one of the spaces, so the Design-Build team at TYCO General, Inc. has submitted a conceptual plan for a coffee shop as an anchor tenant in an adjoining space.

The coffee shop conceptual plan was conceived to offer the SOTOWCoffee Shop - Laundromat Proposed Floorplan neighborhood with a place to enjoy high quality espresso-type coffees as well as specialty teas, fruit smoothies and more. Since Fulton is a heavily traveled street, especially with morning commuter traffic, having a coffee shop conveniently located will afford the public with a place to stop on their way to work each day. There is also a plan to have doors between the coffee shop and Laundromat so when local residents are washing clothes they can relax with a cup of coffee, tea or a soft drink.

The coffee shop will also offer an outdoor patio with market umbrellas, trees and lush landscaping.

Fresno has the Tower District, Old Fig and River Park. Now, people can add SoTow to that list.

That’s what Fresno City Council President Cynthia Sterling calls the region south of the Tower District. The neighborhood connects the Tower, known for its restaurants and nightlife, with downtown, the government center.
Sterling said SoTow is ready to emerge, starting with Fultonia — a 1950s-era apartment and commercial complex on Fulton Street near Belmont Avenue that is getting its own version of an extreme makeover.

Fresno to Welcome The Fultonia Live/Work Village

Fresno, CA – Nestled in an area between downtown Fresno and the Tower District will be The Fultonia Live/Work Village, a mixed-use development that offers 39 units of quality, moderately-priced housing and 10 commercial spaces.

Project design and information

Those who don’t wish to pay substantial sums of money for premium housing may find a home at The Fultonia Live/Work Village.

The redevelopment, in an area that is being proposed as the SOTOW District, or South of Tower, also gives professionals and entrepreneurs the chance to invest in live/work units to reduce travel to and from work. (more…)
